A Landscape Architect Reviews Trump’s Proposed Triumphal Arch - Washingtonian Is "a scaled-up facsimile of the Arc de Triomphe" the right way to celebrate America's 250th birthday?

Good on these designers and architects to have the patience to break down the arguments on why this sucks shitloads of shite

Well there you go. Maybe the better question is who in politics is grassroots ? and if as I suspect the answer is no one then it won’t be Ds Or Rs that can get this country where it needs to go.

AOC would be an interesting argument it’s possible to run campaign grass roots , she beat out a very established incumbent as a working class kid and bartender

According to Forbes 3428 worldwide w 989 in US , if we have Mackenzie and this fella that’s 2 so far for good so a .002 leaves us still pretty far from 5% for good. I’m not trying be smart ass , I actually like hear if there are other billionaires out for good ?

Best news all day

It’s good you did your research a lot-most do not. Personally I’m sick and tired of the moneyed (billionaire) and celebrity status ppl running for elections . We created them through out misaligned cultural priorities of coarse

I’m Not in CA and def not trying to chime in on who should be voted for at all. Addressing this concept of billionaire and progressive. Yes Mackenzie could be described as progressive , but here is the thing she is just such a huge outlier as an example of a billionaire as a progressive.

And yea jail ice as worst of worst criminals we all know they are

“Progressive billionaire” candidate - wtf??????

Bless this Protestor🩵

You grow through self reflection and the process of analysis of one’s own strengths and weakness. We do the same with our nation. This is HOW we honor ourselves and our collective selves (nation).
Thomas is not advocating conserving but rather Regression and going backwards -the magat “Again”

All are created equal IS EQUALITY. What other equality is he obliquely referring to ?

He is one of 12 people who decides on how “we the people” are ruled by LAW, not by his god.
He willfully disregards This countries founding upon separation of church and state, FREEDOM of religion. And FREEDOM of speech & assembly to speak out against tyranny.

Thomas also said he believes many people no longer believe “all men are created equal” and deserving of “unalienable rights” protected by a limited government

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

“[Progressivism] holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government,” he said. “It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

As I gotten older I’ll admit I’m less inclined to bike due to avoiding collisions w cars that win and just to many cars now. I def ride one of my 4! Bikes again w better separations. This is prob bridge to far but maybe better material than crap plastic pole separators.

Anti christ puppet ? ( I can’t believe I just typed that )

Exactly but the movement sure as hell did and looks like the new current robber barroning 2.0 will come to its full period and the Luddite pendulum will swing again.

Type this into a few LLMs (ai) every day over coffee and also share the script (prompt) with a few friend to adapt in their own progressive way and ask them to share w few friends all inputting and pre loading this eventuality ( in ai terms) 🙂
